MGMT
Goldwasser and VanWyngarden formed the band while attending Wesleyan University during their freshman year in December 2002. "We weren't trying to start a band," remarked Goldwasser. "We were just hanging out, showing each other music that we liked." They experimented with noise rock and electronica before settling on what David Marchese of Spin magazine calls "their current brand of shape-shifting psychedelic pop." They graduated in 2005 and toured extensively in support of the Time To Pretend EP, opening for Athens, Georgia indie-rock band Of Montreal.
In the fall of 2006, while serving as Senior Vice President of A&R, Steve Lillywhite signed MGMT to a six-figure, four album deal with Sony/Columbia Records. The duo recorded with Flaming Lips music producer Dave Fridmann in 2007 for their major label debut, Oracular Spectacular. MGMT, now a five-piece live touring band, opened for Of Montreal on tour in fall 2007.
MGMT performed the song "Time to Pretend" on The Late Show with David Letterman on January 8, 2008. The song subsequently hit #38 on the Mediabase US Alternative chart. This song also opened the 2008 film, 21, about the MIT Blackjack Team.
